RE: @ned just flagged me back to 7 rep for speaking the truth, again.
I like andrarchy and it is a bit disheartening that he seemed to actually be more active in the community before he was hired than he has been after he was hired. I almost never notice anything from him now, but before he was hired I frequently would run into something he was involved in.
It's important for a community liaison to, you know liaise with the community.. I have written numerous comments that addressed him directly in the past with salient points to share - and he never even replied to most of them.
I don't really know what to say - except it is pretty clear that there is absolutely no intention to perform in any way that could be called 'world class' (or even average).
Yeah, it is sad. He was active and prolific before the hired him. He wrote and made some truly inspiring videos. He coordinated and ran some communities in chat. He was a generally steem ecosystem focused guy and it showed.
I saw a few things when he was first hired, but honestly it has been a very long time since I've seen anything that was overtly done by him. There may be some covert things that he did through some other name, project, etc. yet those things I don't really know. If that is the case. The overt approach was far better PR.
I have to wonder what went wrong.. Maybe he learned something that changed his intentions.
My friend, I truly have no clue when it comes to that. I don't even have any speculations as I've seen nothing to grab onto for me to form possibilities from.
Sure, yes, me neither.
People come and go. It takes a lot for a human to engage in something. When people focus too much on specific people we miss the bigger picture.
This is true, except when the person is being hired specifically to be the community liaison.
No it's always true. A person is unconscious if they obsess about a person's action. Personal responsibility is what people should focus on. Obsess about external reality is a waste of time.
I don't tend to accept ALWAYS, NEVER, EVERYONE, etc. Absolutes are very rarely true when applied to people, and this is no exception. All it takes is a single case of it not being the case for the absolute to be invalid.
Absolutes are good. We need more of that in the world. People confident in what they believe in. Always I say because that means let's say 99% of times. Of course a person can be a word police and try to do all 100% accurate but for me that is a waste of time and energy. 😉😊
Are you a preacher, priest, etc. Absolutes based upon belief are called Dogma. It is the basis for most religions. Your definition of GOOD and mine vary quite a bit.
In this case I wouldn't even say you are correct about it being 99%. I don't even suspect it is MOST. Though this is me guessing just like you. You are guessing it is 99%. I am guessing it is not.
Either one of us could be right or wrong. That tends to happen when people try to pass off their speculations/guesses/hypothesis as fact.
I don't consider any of my own ideas absolute. Doing so is naive in my opinion.
I believe in self confidence above word magic. I trust my instinct above all else. The world is not run by word magic it's way more complex than that. The world is also not run on Logic but on pure Intelligence. There is more Intelligence in the air around us than in our own brain.
It's not "Magic". It is simply knowing what words mean and being precise in using them. Making mistakes sure, but learning from those mistakes.
If someone points out what words mean, and their misuse in order to clarify and improve the accuracy of communication you call that magic?
LOL - I have to requote something above.
In otherwords even if you don't have a clue about something you'll trust it because your instinct tells you that you should? That sounds like "magic" thinking. LOL.
If you think your instinct trumps all then I don't like telling you this, but you are being a fool. Good news though. You don't have to be. Freedom of choice.
If you have a problem with being wrong, then how can you hope to learn?
I am wrong all the time. I argue with myself and change my mind frequently.
My instinct. It can be wrong. It is limited to what I have learned, and the experiences I have had and I am no God, am not omniscient, and there are a great deal of subjects I know very little about. Those things my instinct is baseless.
I get what you are saying with that. We did see a lot from him before he was hired and I don't know if a lot of the stuff he does are things we just don't see in a video format of him addressing the community or what. I just really can't say.
Yeah I don't know either. He could be involved in a lot of things he is not getting credit for or that we don't know.
That's the problem I would have expected to SEE him involved in a lot more things with official support.
My expectations could be wrong.
